RUSKIN's SALES AND PROFITS.
Rather Surprising Figures for Last Years |
Business,
Pail Mall Gazette

"Weu, Nj. Rhskin mas instructed me
to tell you everything you care to ask;
so l shall break no confidence if l show
you these accounts. For instance, from
the new edition of the Stones of Venice
Mr.. Ruskin has received already FL ,583
clear profit, besides leaving 1922 copies
paid for" els that his greatest sue
cessf" az cannot say yet, for
the edition was ooly published
last year. SO far. think
the Seven Lamps of Architecture has
done best, The authors clear profits
from the editions | have published of
that book have amounted to close upon
E2500. But without going into further
details 1 may tell you that last year
1886) l was able to pay over to Mr.
Ruskln, as his profit, $4,000. And to that
you should add the fact that during the
year we greatly increased the value OF
his stock, as, for instance, by the new
edition of 'rhe Stones Of We
nice. We have paid all
the cost of production and the
profits on it will come steadily in" 1t
will be seen that Mr.. Ruskin's royalties,
if one puts his profits that way, are ex-
traordinariIy large. Thus, 1000 copies Of
the "Seven Lamps" at FL Is. brought
him clear profit of 1891, equivalent to
royalty of los. copy. And this, so far
as l have examined, was about the aver
age rate. Thus, to take a cheaper book,
noticed that 5000 copies of SESAME and
Lilies" at 5s. brought him G345.
"And what, if msy ask, is your own
arrangement as publisher with Mr.. Rus
kim" 81 publish for him simply on COM
mission. The accounts are all kept on
bis behalf. He takes all the risk and all
the profit on his own publications, paying
me q commission as one OF his out
goings. Originally, as stated 'Fors,' he
proposed to share the net profits of
that work with me. But l do not think
that arrangement is fair to the author
when his reputation is already assured,
and he accordingly pays me commits
sion of so much on each copy sold, the
amount of commission varying with the
price of the book and with the kind and
amount of trouble involved"
"You have given me some figures of
the profits on various books; can you
give any of the sales to show their COM
parative popularity" Mr.. Allen readily
complied with my request, and drew up
the following table, showing the sales
during 1886 of some of the more popular
of Mr.. Ruskin's books:
